Join us for an insightful webinar exploring the foundations of the European Learning Model (ELM). This session will introduce key principles and applications of the ELM. It will also provide an overview of its impact on interoperability in learning across Europe.
Europass Mobility, first introduced in 2004, is a well-established template which describes the skills acquired abroad on mobility experiences for learning or work. Europass Mobility can help communicate the new skills and experiences acquired during a traineeship, volunteering or a learning period abroad in a comparable way. Following a consultation of the National Europass Centres and Erasmus+ National Agencies in 2021, a project group was set up to modernise and simplify the template as well as provide the next steps towards its digitisation.
It has now been almost 3 years since the European Commissioner for Jobs and Social Rights, Nicolas Schmit, launched the European Digital Credentials for Learning (EDC) in an online event in which more than 1,500 people took part.
The European Digital Credentials for Learning (EDC) infrastructure is a set of freely available services and software to support the issuance of authentic, tamper-evident digital credentials (whether diplomas, micro-credentials, certificates of participation or other) across Europe.
A European Digital Credential for Learning (EDC) is a verifiable, digital version of a credential issued by an organisation to a learner to document their learning. These include diplomas, training certificates, micro-credentials, certificates of participation, and more. They can be issued in all EU and Europass languages and are signed with an electronic seal (a form of digital signature belonging to a trusted institution or organisation).
In response to the growing rate and scale of European Digital Credentials for Learning, the European Commission launched the Futurium Group for the European Learning Model
The European Commission is launching a new online community for people interested in the European Learning Model. This community will be on Futurium, a platform for sharing ideas and best practices.
The Europass platform provides its users with the opportunity to search and browse a growing number of qualifications and learning opportunities. Member States and other Europass countries are invited to publish and share data on learning opportunities and qualifications from their national databases.
